Parishes of Queen Street
Queen Street has always been divided into two parishes (east and west): hence the boundary marker now inside the Marks & Spencer store.
- The old parish to the west, St Peter-le-Bailey, disappeared in 1961
- The old parish to the east, St Martin’s, disappeared in 1896
The street numbering is in the old 1–2–3–4–5 style, running along the south side from Carfax to St Ebbe's Street, then No. 27 is opposite No. 26 and it runs back to No. 45 at Carfax, which is opposite No. 1.

The parish division of Queen Street now cuts through the middle of the Marks & Spencer store, and the above stone displayed in the store dates from 1952. Both parishes of Queen Street have disappeared, but St Aldate’s parish still runs along to the south of Queen Street.
